gettin deep in the dip!!

Okay so I am a little out of order here - but I wanted to catch up with my posts. I have been training hard and lifting heavy in the hopes to build some strength on this little frame of mine. If you read the post before this one you'll see that I PR'd on my 5 rep deadlift, my 3 rep shoulder press, and my 5 rep back squat this week. It's been a great week for me!! I believe that getting enough sleep (which I am lucky to do), eating healthy in the Zone, taking the right supplements, having the right programming and happiness in your life can move mountains in your training. I am really hard on myself as far as what I think I should be able to do and I am competitive sometimes to a fault. If I don't do what I had my mind set on it throws me off the whole day. Brendan is exactly like that but he never lets himself down! He's a machine...and I love it!

Shari,Okay, I found my new favorite torture. . . tabata treadmill. I tried your 9mph, almost fell off the back, had to back down to 8mph for half and 7.5 for the second half and then spend 20 minutes trying to swallow my heart back down into my chest!! I have committed to this twice weekly!

Yesterday I did Diane in the morning and then your AMRAP 20 min. 25 sit ups/250 row and 15 bench presses 65# in the evening. . . I only got 5 rounds +5 sit ups! You are amazing. . . I found what I can use to push me when I am alone. . . YOU!! :)
